The Diane Lane of baseball parks

"2. Our stadium is a cougar: I mean, look at her.
She’s 39 years old and she is smoking hot. Every time she gets a
face-lift, she looks even better. While all of the other cookie-cutter
ballparks from Kauffman Stadium’s era were run-down, terrible-looking
pieces of waste that have been ditched for a younger beauty, our stadium
is every bit as gorgeous as it was on the day that it opened.
Fountains, a giant crown scoreboard, the soothing hum of I-70 beyond
center field. Yep, Kauffman Stadium is the Diane Lane of baseball parks.
And we’re proud of that."

The deal

Everybody is the Rosa Parks of something—or at least the Michael Phelps, Cap'n Crunch, Dick Cheney, Elmer Fudd, or Paris Hilton of whatever. This blog collects examples of the adaptable idiom "X is the Y of Z", which is a snowclone. Feel free to use these descriptions when discussing your beautiful children, longtime companions, sworn enemies, favorite foods, and elected congress-scum.
